The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston

funny lighthearted medium-paced

4.0

 Ever since her aunt's death, Clementine has put her head down to work harder toward her goals at her publishing company. Living in her late aunt's apartment, one day she finds herself shocked to find a man in her kitchen. With kind eyes and a seductive Southern drawl, he's the perfect man for Clementine. Except for the cosmic mistiming: he actually exists seven years ago. When Clementine encounters him in the modern day, she is shocked by how much he has changed.

I haven't read The Dead Romantics, Poston's big hit last year, so I wasn't sure what to expect from The Seven Year Slip, especially since I'm not much of a romance reader. To my pleasant surprise, I fell in love with Poston's nuanced love story, which reminded me of a few of my favorite Josie Silver's writing. This twist on a time travel story keeps you guessing, for every time Clementine slips into the past, it affects her interaction with the present. Poston takes the concept of right person/wrong time to a whole new level, giving you an engaging and enjoyable summer read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Berkley Publishing Group through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
